1 Prepared by CABI and EPPO for the EU under Contract 90/ Data Sheets on Quarantine Pests Elsinoë fawcettii and Elsinoë australis IDENTITY Taxonomic position: Fungi: Ascomycetes: Dothideales Notes on taxonomy and nomenclature: The quarantine pests specified in EU Directive 77/93 are Elsinoë spp. on Citrus, Fortunella, Poncirus and their hybrids. E. fawcettii is much the most widespread and important of these, but the category also includes E. australis and variety scabiosa of the anamorph of E. fawcettii. The teleomorphs are only known from Brazil, so most published information concerns the fungi identified as their anamorphs. Although the three forms can be distinguished by morphology and host range, they cause very similar diseases and Whiteside et al. (1988) doubt whether the taxa are really distinct. In most respects, they can be treated together. EU Annex designation: II/A1 - as Elsinoë spp. Elsinoë fawcettii Name: Elsinoë fawcettii Bitancourt & A.E.

Many

2 2 Elsinoë fawcettii and Elsinoë australis other species and hybrids of Rutaceae include susceptible or moderately susceptible cultivars or clones, e. g. calamondins (C. madurensis), C. hystrix, C. limonia, C. nobilis, Poncirus trifoliata, rough lemons (C. jambhiri) and satsumas (C. unshiu). The potential host range extends to other ornamental Citrus and rootstocks. Most cultivars of C. latifolia, Fortunella margarita, oranges and pummelos (C. maxima) are rarely attacked. Some cultivars of citrons (C. medica), kumquats (Fortunella), limes (C. aurantiifolia) and oranges are highly resistant. Elsinoë australis E. australis is, in contrast, most important on oranges (C. sinensis), sour oranges (C. aurantium) being rather resistant. It also infects lemons (C. limon), mandarins (C. reticulata), satsumas (C. unshiu), limes (C. aurantiifolia), grapefruits (C. paradisi) and Fortunella. Sphaceloma fawcettii var. scabiosa S. fawcettii var. scabiosa is most important on lemons (C. limon) and rough lemons (C. jambhiri), and is infrequent on sour oranges (C. aurantium). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION Elsinoë fawcettii Some of the records of E. fawcettii have later been shown to concern var. scabiosa (see below). It is not always clear whether, in such cases, both forms occur in the countries concerned, or only var. scabiosa. EPPO region: Apart from its occurrence in Spain (Canary Islands only), all records of this pathogen in the region (Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco, Russia) are dubious. Early records (Greece, Italy) referred to species of Cladosporium, and their relation with E. fawcettii was not proved. Asia: Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), Georgia, Hong Kong, India (Assam, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal), Indonesia (Irian Jaya, Java, Kalimantan), Japan (Honshu, Ryukyu Archipelago), Korea Democratic People's Republic, Korea Republic, Lao, Lebanon (dubious), Maldives, Malaysia (Peninsular, Sabah, Sarawak), Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Viet Nam, Yemen (unconfirmed). Africa: Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Morocco (dubious), Mozambique, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe. North America: Bermuda, Mexico, USA (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas). Central America and Caribbean: Barbados, Belize, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Martinique, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago. South America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil (Bahia, Ceará, Espiritu Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo), Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela. Oceania: American Samoa, Australia (New South Wales, Northern Territories, Queensland, Victoria), Cook Islands, Fiji, French Polynesia, Guam, Micronesia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu. EU: Present. Distribution map: See CMI (1986, No. 125).

3 Elsinoë fawcettii and Elsinoë australis 3 Elsinoë australis EPPO region: Ciccarone (1957) identified a scab on lemon fruits in Sicily as caused by E. australis but there have been no records in Italy since. Asia: India (Tamil Nadu; dubious). Africa: Ethiopia (unconfirmed). Central America and Caribbean: Dominica (unconfirmed). South America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil (Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo), Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay. Oceania: Cook Islands, Fiji, New Caledonia (unconfirmed), Niue, Samoa. EU: Absent (doubtful old record only). Distribution map: See CMI (1976, No. 55). Sphaceloma fawcettii var. scabiosa EPPO region: Absent. Asia: Hong Kong, Indonesia (Irian Jaya), Malaysia (Peninsular, Sabah, Sarawak), Sri Lanka. Africa: Comoros, Madagascar, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe. South America: Argentina, Brazil. Oceania: Australia (New South Wales, Queensland), Fiji, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands. EU: Absent. Distribution map: See CMI (1990, No. 161). BIOLOGY Inoculum for new infections consists of conidia, and presumably ascospores, from scabs formed on leaves, twigs and fruits. Conidia are formed abundantly on wet scabs, in a nearly saturated atmosphere, between 20 and 28 C. Germination of conidia and infection do not require liquid water, both processes being possible with dew, fog or under high moisture conditions. A wet period of h is needed for conidial infection. The temperature range required for germination of conidia is C, but infection does not take place below 14 C or above 25 C. The incubation period is at least 5 days. The optimal temperature for disease development is C. Leaves, shoots and fruits are infected when young, i.e. when leaves are up to 15 mm wide and fruits are not more than 20 mm across. The pathogen is able to survive in scab pustules on fruits remaining on the tree and on other plant organs, providing the inoculum for the next season. Even in resistant cultivars, the fungus can survive on diseased shoots from susceptible rootstocks (Whiteside, 1988). For more information, see Yamada (1961), Whiteside (1975; 1988). Biotypes of the fungus virulent on certain hosts are known (Whiteside, 1978). DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION Symptoms Lesions on young leaves begin as minute water-soaked spots which subsequently evolve into amphigenous, creamy-yellowish or variously bright-coloured pustules. These grow as irregular, globose or conical excrescences which coalesce and extend mostly along the main veins to cover a large part of the blade, particularly on the lower surface. The central area of these wart-like outgrowths is depressed and becomes drab, greyish and velvety when the fungus is fruiting. Old scab lesions have a rough surface, are dusky-coloured and become cracked and fissured. Affected leaves become stunted, malformed, wrinkled or puckered, with irregular torn margins. Defoliation often follows severe infections. Similar

4 4 Elsinoë fawcettii and Elsinoë australis warty lesions and corky eruptions are formed on young twigs, tender shoots and stems of nursery plants which can grow bushy and stunted. Blossom pedicels and buttons may be attacked as well. Fruits are infected in the early stages of their development, grow misshapen and are subject to premature fall. On the rind of developed fruits, raised lesions are formed with different shape, size and colour according to species and cultivar affected. They appear as scattered protuberances, conical projections or crater-like outgrowths or they coalesce to give scabby patches or extensive areas of fine eruptions. Scab however does not extend to the flesh. E. fawcettii scabs are typically irregular, warty and deeply fissured, while E. australis forms larger, smoother more circular scabs, and S. fawcettii var. scabiosa forms discoid or crateriform scabs. Citrus scab may be confused with other diseases, e.g. bacterial canker (Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri) and melanose (Diaporthe citri), or with injuries caused by various agents. For illustrations and further information, see Fawcett (1936), Brun (1971), Knorr (1973), Klotz (1978), Whiteside et al. (1988). Morphology Ascomata pulvinate, globose, dark, pseudoparenchymatous, multilocular, up to µm thick. Asci up to 20 per locule, subglobose or ovoid, bitunicate, inner wall thickened at the top, µm diameter, eight-spored. Ascospores hyaline, ellipsoidal or oblongellipsoidal, with two to four cells, usually constricted at the central septum, x 5-6 µm diameter (12-20 x 4-8 µm for E. australis). Only known from Brazil. Acervuli intra-epidermal or sub-epidermal, scattered or confluent, pseudoparenchymatous. Conidiogenous cells originated from the upper cells of the pseudoparenchyma or from the hyaline or pale-brown phialidic conidiophores, which have 2-4 septa. Conidia hyaline, unicellular, ellipsoid, biguttulate, 5-10 x 2-5 µm. Mycelium hyaline, scanty, septate, short-branched. Colonies in culture very slow-growing, rose to purple, well raised above the agar surface and covered by tufts of short erect hyphae. The anamorphs of E. fawcettii and E. australis are practically identical, while S. fawcettii var. scabiosa has larger conidia (8-16 x 2-6 µm). For more information, see Bitancourt & Jenkins (1936), Sivanesan & Critchett (1974a, b, c), Holliday (1980), Sivanesan (1984). Detection and inspection methods Semiselective media containing antibiotics and fungicides (dodine) have been developed for isolating E. fawcettii from scab lesions (Whiteside, 1988). The possibility of using immunochemical methods for pathogen detection has been envisaged (Peláez Abellán et al., 1986). MEANS OF MOVEMENT AND DISPERSAL Dissemination of the pathogen is mostly by rain (or irrigation water), although insects and, to a certain extent, wind-carried water droplets containing spores may contribute to the spread of the pathogen. In international trade the pathogen can be carried on infected nursery stock, ornamental citrus plants, and fruits. PEST SIGNIFICANCE Economic impact In citrus orchards, E. fawcettii affects mostly sour oranges and susceptible cultivars of lemons, mandarins, tangelos and grapefruits, whereas most cultivars of oranges and limes are less or not affected. The disease is particularly serious in the nursery on susceptible

5 Elsinoë fawcettii and Elsinoë australis 5 rootstocks such as sour oranges, rough lemons, Poncirus trifoliata and Citrus limonia. It may stunt seedlings or make them bushy and difficult to bud. Scabs are present, particularly on the young growth. Severely infected fruits are scarred and distorted and consequently unmarketable. S. fawcettii var. scabiosa has a very similar impact, but on a different host range (see Hosts). E. australis differs in more typically causing fruit scab, mainly on oranges. Citrus scab is widespread in areas where suitable conditions of temperature and rainfall or high humidity prevail (wet subtropics and cooler tropics). Elsewhere, it occurs when new flush and fruit setting coincide with spells of relatively warm, humid weather. It is also favoured by local conditions such as damp, low-lying soils and dense, shaded citrus groves. Severe outbreaks of citrus scab occur only in areas where susceptible species or cultivars of citrus fruit are grown for the fresh market and where young plants or new growth develop under favourable conditions of temperature, moisture and shade. Losses largely depend on seasonal and local variations in weather. The disease is not a problem in areas with a limited annual rainfall (less than 1300 mm), long-lasting hot seasons (mean monthly temperature above 24 C) or a dry summer. In the Mediterranean region and, more generally, in citrus-growing areas with a dry climate (e.g. California and Arizona in the USA, where the disease has never become established) scab, even if present, is rare or unimportant. Control Citrus scab can be controlled using resistant cultivars (Ieki, 1982; Yoshida & Shichijo, 1984; Reddy et al., 1986) and by fungicide applications both in the nursery and in the orchard. Two to three sprays with protectant fungicides (copper, ferbam, thiram, captafol and chlorothalonil have been used) or one to two applications of systemic fungicides (benomyl, carbendazim) before flushing and after petal fall are recommended (see González, 1980; Rao, 1983; Reddy et al., 1983). Benomyl-tolerant strains of the pathogen have been found (Whiteside, 1980). Phytosanitary risk E. fawcettii, E. australis and S. fawcettii var. scabiosa are not listed as quarantine pests by EPPO, or by any other regional plant protection organization. They present no serious risk to the Mediterranean region (see Economic impact). PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES Crop sanitation, establishing citrus nurseries in dry areas and adoption of proper treatments may help in production of rootstocks and budwood free from the pathogen. The usual procedures for importation of certified citrus planting material should be followed. For more information, see also Knorr (1977), Roistacher et al. (1977).
